TIM THERON
Whether at home for any family member interested, or on stage at an arts
festival, Tim Theron has always been performing in some shape or form.
Tim studied B.Com Communication in Potchefstroom at what is now known
as the North West University’s Pukke Campus. While at the PUK, Tim
immersed himself in the vibrant arts culture of the university. He wrote, acted
and directed several student productions, competed in several drama
competitions, and also became a core member of one of the universities
travelling performing arts companies, performing across the country.
After university Tim decided to merge his artistic flair with the corporate world,
and started working in the magazine industry.
It wasn’t long though till the stage called and he became part of the Afrikaans
improvisational comedy group Lagnes. As the group became more
successful, it was necessary for Tim to step up and start managing the group,
which, through lots of hard work an dedication by all the members, eventually
led to a long-term sponsorship from the ATKV, a TV series on kykNET (2011),
and sold out performances at arts festivals like Aardklop, KKNK, Citrus Festival,
Jacaranda National Arts Festival, Woordpoort Festival etc.
In 2011 Tim decided to focus more on his individual career. He was lucky
enough to and a role in the hit Afrikaans romantic comedy Semi-Soet, as
well as the Afrikaans drama Vloeksteen. In 2011 Tim also directed and starred in two local amateur productions of theThe Boer en die Engelse Soldaat and Jutro.
Tim also flexed his writing muscles, and along with talented script writer
Etienne Fourie, wrote the screenplay for the Afrikaans feature film Klein
Karoo, which he also starred in, alongside Donnalee Roberts and Hykie Berg.
Tim is also a director of the production company, Kaapland Films, which produced Klein Karoo.
In 2013 Tim was also lucky enough to play a part in the epic Deon Opperman
drama Donkerland. The Kaapland Films pitch for their sitcom Kloofstraat
was also commisioned, and Tim and his partners are currently in pre-production
on that, planning to start late 2014. The Kaapland team has also just finished principal shooting on their newest feature film, Mooirivier, with a planned release in early 2015. Tim is also an experienced MC, having done major events like the ATKV National Serenade Competition
